Get ready to uncover the wonders beneath our feet as we explore soil, worms, and compost, and learn the indispensable role worms play in enhancing our soil's health. Join Science World facilitators with our mobile vermicomposter, Holly's Composter! During this workshop, dirt detectives will roll up their sleeves and dive into the dirt to see the intricate anatomy of these underground heroes and understand how these wrigglers turn food scraps into nourishing compost.

But our investigation continues! Participants will then harvest compost and create their own seed bombs to take home and transform green spaces into vibrant pollinator gardens. With hands-on activities and fascinating discoveries awaiting, prepare to be captivated by the magic of soil, worms, and compost and unleash your inner Dirt Detective.
